Jul 31, 2008 bottle 330 ml. Overall, a rather strange beer. Very strong, beautiful olive scent. The taste is very complex, fading very slowly to bitter dryness. While very interesting, I don’t think this is the beer for me--just too strong of a flavor with too much dry/bitterness.

Jul 29, 2008 Bottle, Pours Orange amber with a tall white head. Fruity sourish aroma and a unique flavour of spices and a light sourness, that is more interesting than actually tasty on my tongue.

Jul 28, 2008 Pours light amber with a billowy white head. Aromas of resin, apples, mincemeat, and sourdough; no appreciable hop bouquet. Surprisingly dry with hints of straw in the mouth; definitely more hoppy than the typical Belgian as their bitterness dominates the flavor profile. Flavor rounds out as the beer passes the 50 F mark. Tingly texture that leaves the mouth feeling cleaner than before! Medium body and astringent finish.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. I cannot say the aroma was anything like I was expecting, olives, grapes, melon fruit, and some other kind of spice, very very interesting and unique though I’m not sure I’m completely turned on by it. The appearance on the other hand… wow! Absolutely beautiful pour, huge cream colored pillowy bubbly head, stays nicely, minor lacing, great cloudy burnt orange color, very little carbonation bubbles. This is definitely the most unique tasting beer I may have ever tried, for starters the palate is fantastic, super smooth, medium mouthfeel feels great on the tongue and palate, it has a spicy exotic fruit start initially, then I get similarly to the aroma olives/grape malt flavors, finishes with a very dry unique type of bitter. I absolutely love the uniqueness of this beer, but I can’t say that all its craziness truly comes together perfectly for me, though it was a great experience.

Jul 26, 2008 Botella. Comprada en supermercado. Color ambar-anaranjado. Espuma color crema claro. Gran aroma a malta y frutas. Muy seca con toques frutales y un amargor importante que no desentona. Mas acida de lo que esperaba. Buena, pero no me maravillo.

Jul 25, 2008 Finally got around to picking up this classic. Pours a nice hazy golden orange with huge off-whitish head. Aroma is of malt, spices, light fruits and hops. Flavor is dry with spices and hops with notes of light fruits and a touch of alcohol. Best belgain brew I have had and a pleasure to finally try.
